Abstract
In teacher education, a collection of research has established the importance of reflection in professional development. Lesson study, a popular professional development in Japan, incorporates reflection in one of its stages to enhance teachers’ capacity to look into their enacted practices to improve their research lessons. However, there appear to be few studies determining the types of reflective practice among teachers. In this study, the various stages of lesson study process were documented and transcribed to analyze the teachers’ reflective practices. Qualitative analyses yielded three types of reflective practice exemplified by the teachers, namely: descriptive, analytical, and critical. The study highlighted the collaborative, sustainable, and provisional environment which enabled the teachers to become practitioners who are able to use their reflections to gain understanding of their instructional practices. Findings also indicated that the context of professional development for teachers must be tailored to their direct experiences for them to significantly use the outcomes.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
